Abstract

This study's main goal is to determine how mobile collaborative learning affects Edo State Polytechnic Usen's Office Technology and Management National Diploma students' ability to solve problems. Teaching and learning activities that do not include technology may not adequately prepare people for their future roles in this day and age, as technology has influenced every aspect of human endeavours. Children in the 21st century, in contrast to previous generations, are raised with increasingly evolving technology that reduce their openness to conventional learning methods. No matter the time or place, students may engage in educational activities thanks to the portability and beautiful characteristics of mobile gadgets. When the goal of instructional design is to develop 21st century skills like collaborative, critical, creative, reality problem-solving, among others, mobile learning as an active learning context—is better than traditional learning methods. Mobile technology educational tools provide educators and learners with an abundance of educational materials covering a range of topics. This is especially crucial for less developed nations like Nigeria, where there are few and outdated educational resources. In order to enable the promotion of lifelong learning, cognitive development requires that learning be more than just a mechanical or repeated accumulation of information and knowledge; it also requires a profound conceptual shift and reconceptualisation. The t-test was used to measure the mean significant difference between the assessment scores of the control and experimental groups in the study. The findings showed that, when the goal is to give students the tools they need to solve problems in the real world, integrating mobile collaborative learning into teaching and learning activities helps them develop their problem- solving skills more than using only the traditional, conventional approach. The study also demonstrated how students' reasoning perspectives are expanded, and their communication and teamwork skills are enhanced when intense engagement is promoted in educational work.
